The U.S. embargo against Cuba is an economic sanctions regime. Through multiple policies passed since the Eisenhower administration, the U.S. has unreasonably prohibited Cuba from equitable opportunity to grow and perform with other sovereign nations in the global economy. However, while the U.S. now intervenes in and interferes with Cuban affairs via the economic sanctions regime, before the embargo, the U.S. did so via education policy and a U.S.-backed Cuban dictator. This research explores this unique Cuban situation rife with U.S. interventionist strategy. Chapter 1 explores the economic sanctions regime’s impact on Cuba’s unique situation, while Chapter 2 explores that of the education policy and U.S.-backed Cuban dictator. Since I cannot lift the embargo myself, Chapter 3 concludes with discussion of an alternative resolution to lifting the embargo, so that Cuba might become more educationally and economically developed, despite the embargo. The alternative resolution emphasizes international collaboration and technological change.
